Questions from Creatives & Authors
Is PayDoc worth it for low prices?
Yes, there is no monthly fee. Note, however, that Stripe charges a fixed amount per payment – with very low prices it weighs more. The pricing calculator on our home page shows what is left for you.
Do I need a company to sell?
No. You can register as an individual. For payouts you link your bank account once – it takes a few minutes.
Does it work for customers abroad?
Yes. Buyers abroad pay by card. TWINT is available for customers in Switzerland.
